U.S. President Donald Trump threatened Monday to indefinitely delay opening the Gordie Howe International Bridge, while also demanding “at least” half ownership of the massive infrastructure project that Canada paid for.
“I will not allow this bridge to open until the United States is fully compensated for everything we have given them, and also, importantly, Canada treats the United States with the Fairness and Respect that we deserve,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “We will start negotiations, IMMEDIATELY. With all that we have given them, we should own, perhaps, at least one half of this asset. The revenues generated because of the U.S. Market will be astronomical.”
Trump made the threat Monday on a rambling Truth Social post that also falsely stated Canada built the bridge with “virtually no U.S. content” including American steel. He claimed that former President Barack Obama “stupidly gave them a waiver so they could get around the BUY AMERICAN Act.”
“The post is certainly unhinged, moving from a lot of misinformation and untrue statements,” Windsor Mayor Dilkens told the Star. “Of course, U.S. steel was used in the construction of the bridge on the U.S. side. Thousands of U.S. hands went into the construction of their bridge. And this was a project that was worked on together by the U.S and Canada through successive presidents and prime ministers over the course of almost 25 years.”

I know we’re all tired of the craziness. You’re being attacked internally and he threatens to attack everyone else externally. Morons aren’t smart enough to be idiots and he’s surely a moron.
May we find sanity and protection from this mad man.
And everything he says in the article (and everywhere else) is total bullshit.
